Just on player creating. Hairstyles still seem a bit less varied.
Does anyone have an idea if there will be an intermediate update in the coming days or nothing until the big update at the end of September?

The most common bugs I have:
Game crash during mauls.
During rucks and mauls the opposition doesnāt have anyone to pick up the ball and it doesnāt give me a scrum so it just winds the clock down and thereās nothing I can do.
Ref blows for a penalty for a āhigh tackleā but play continues
Not a bug but you can be offside all you like which is kinda cheating I suppose.
Also Iāve set up a team in the academy with 15 players, what now? Thereās no option in the quick game menu to play with the custom team so it feels pointless.
PS I really want to like this game, I have 17 hours on it right now but most of those were because the game quit midway through or a bug killed the game. I donāt think I have made it through a full game for a while so the game is unplayable at the moment which is a huge shame.

On the custom team, you need to create a min of 23 players, for the lineup option to unlock, after setting up your lineup, then you will be able to play with the team.

Just single matches at the moment.

I also found it hard to make female forwards look big too. Especially the Props
Also will be interesting to see the licensed player model for Asenathi Ntlabakanye when the Emirates Lions are added into the game for the URC.
He weighs 153kg

Hi Big Ant,
Any news about set plays?
You could create a real point of difference with other rugby games by introducing set plays from line outs. Players with set running lines wrapping around the front or tail of the line out up the 5m or 15m channels moving pods around to crest more space for this or even space between two pods for someone to take the ball off the top and run into.
You could adjust the playable area off the pitch to make the most of quick line outs to speed up play and encourage broken field running.
You could introduce another throw - straight to the front man in the line out which is relatively common IRL but never seen in a game before.
Introduce the ability to sack an opponent mail off a line out.
So much you can do with line outs alone.

@MattW @JNT_BA this game is starting to really make progress. We are past mid September and there is no update about a console release date. Is there any traction with this?

When will this be added to the PS store so that I can pre-order the PS5 version?
So we will then probably be looking at another rebrand as rugby 26 LOL!!!
As a PlayStation gamer mainly (I am running the early access on a home laptop) and a rugby fan I think you are right. March - July 25 should give them time to build this out to wheee it needs to be. The game is coming along nicely and there are glimpses of the end product coming through. Iād rather itās done right and not rushed so we have the best game when it lands on PlayStation.

When will get team management to replace players from the benches that would be in line with player stamina management during a game ?
Also , will we get 24/25 Kits for most of the competitions ? URC club Dragons new Kit below. I like this one better than the 23/24 home kit they had.

Kicking for goal is too easyā¦either the trajectory arrow needs to be substantially shortened or the trajectory arrow needs to be wrestled with by the player the entire time to keep the flight of the ball on target
short quick passes are a bit too difficult stillā¦the window of opportunity for backline players especially do short quick passes to put a man in space need to be opened
the depth of the line needs to be adjustableā¦so flat, medium or deep to enable the player to decide whether they want to keep it tight or let the ball go down the line
support lines need a lot of work
i am warming to the game and there is a lot of potential hereā¦
